Gabrielle Williams MP opened by acknowledging the work of advocacy then continued by outlining some of the initiatives that have been announced by the Andrew’s Labor Government this year. She encouraged advocates and advocacy organisations to contribute to the Advocacy Futures Plan which is currently open for submissions. This plan injects an additional $4.3m to the existing ongoing advocacy program already funded by the Victorian Government. The Disability Advocacy Capacity building Grants are funding 15 initiatives to further the work of advocacy with a further $1.57m.
